Notes
'SnapDragon' apple (Malus domestica 'SnapDragon') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This apple is grown for fresh eating, and its crisp, sweet fruit is similar to Honeycrisp. The fruit is usually a solid orange and red. Bees visit the spring flowers, and the dense tree grows slowly.
Pairs well with Summer savory, Prairie dropseed, and Cheyenne Spirit echinacea.
